Berkshire (2) beat Cornwall by 25 runs.
Debuts by Graham Wagg (formerly Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Glamorgan & Shropshire) and Cornish-born Jake Rowe (formerly Wadebridge & Pencarrow).
After being put in Berkshire's openers put on 76 in 16 overs before Max Tryfonos removed Rhys Lewis for 27.
Jonny Connell went on to make 79 and with Archie Carter (30) and Charlie Dunnett (49) the visitors reached 194-4 in the 42nd over.
Late wickets tumbled with Wagg and Ellis Whiteford picking up three apiece.
Set 245 Chris Gibson was caught at slip to the first ball of the innings.
Things got worse as former Cornwall bowler Tommy Sturgess trapped Will Macvicar (7) lbw, had Karl Leathley (9) caught behind and then uprooted two of Wagg's (0) stumps to make it 23-4 in the eighth over.
Mark Gribble (0) was bowled by Andy Rishton at 32-5. Tryfonos (19) added 28 for the sixth wicket with Paul Smith before sending back a return catch to Euan Woods. Alex Bone made 13 but his dismissal made it 85-7 after 24 overs.
Smith found a partner in Jake Rowe, who was only given a debut on the morning of the game following the late withdrawals of Adam Snowdon and his overnight replacement Callum Wilson. The pair added 69 for the eighth wicket before Smith (68) was bowled going for a big hit, having previously struck two sixes.
Cornwall were not yet done and gave themselves an outside chance as Ben Ellis (34no) and Rowe (51) added 62 for the ninth wicket. They got it to 29 required off 13 balls when Rowe fell for 51. Last man Whiteford (1) followed with 26 needed off seven balls.
